Pearly Alpaca Head-shot


size: 283x400, 17k

Pearly is just over a year old now and she is a beautiful, spirited girl. She will be ready to start breeding next spring.


Opal and Gabriel Head-shot


size: 390x400, 20k

This is baby Opal, now three months old, and Gabriel who is about six months old. We'll be taking these two cuties and Pearly to the Phoenix Alpaca show in March. I believe Gabriel has some real prospects of a ribbon.

Nekkid Dodger Begging for a Treat


size: 478x718, 91k

They look so funny after they are sheared. Dodger's fleece is extremely fine (19 microns) and he sheared a 3.2 lb blanket with 4.5 inches of staple length this year. Good boy! He did get his treat by the way.

Nekked Opal


size: 481x642, 55k

Opal is doing great! At seven months old now she weighs about 77 lbs. Her fleece was ultra soft and silky, 5.25 inches long in the blanket and about 2 lbs. I can't wait to work with it.

Nekked Dodger Looking for More Treats


size: 454x462, 51k

He didn't get any more treats this time, but he is a handsome fellow even without his fabulous coat.


Nekkid Galadriel


size: 888x670, 137k

This lovely lady is very pregnant. We should have a baby from her in June! Dodger is lurking in the background and that is Jelli peering in from the right. They are all very embarrassed about being nekkid.
